What's Porecki's injury? He's been very unavailable for a while now. Also what's the go on Saunders, I don't know anything about him. Are 'Tahs favourites for this?

Will be a good test of the 'Tahs scrum with a strong Hurricanes front row against them. HURRICANES (1-15): Xavier Numia, Asafo Aumua (co-c), Tyrel Lomax, Caleb Delany, Zach Gallagher, Brayden Iose, Du'Plessis Kirifi (co-c), Peter Lakai, Cam Roigard, Riley Hohepa, Kini Naholo, Peter...

McReight being rested is a bit odd. Wilson makes sense. Congratulations to Ryan, pretty special to captain the Reds at Suncorp.

Hopefully the Brumbies can replicate the Reds and steamroll the 'Landers scrum.

I sorta hope there are. Quade/Genia are in 2nd div, Rory Arnold would've turned down 500k+ easy from Toulouse to go play 2nd div.

Yeah you don't want to be losing spinal fluid when you tackle the way he does.

Are there any league halves that are being paid unders and would do a better job than our current 10s?

Didn't realise that 1) Kalani and Louis are both 22, I assumed Louis was way younger and 2) that Kalani already has 55 caps for the Reds. Feels like he has 10.

yeah well I don't really want to do my actual work do I?

After 6 rounds and a few head to heads, who starts at 10? - Donaldson - Lolesio - Lynagh

I think you're mixing him up with Goku.

I've done a combined ANZAC team, it was actually quite difficult to find Kiwis. So many of them have switched allegiance to Samoa/Tonga, especially the props. Kiwi props do not come around often and when they do they don't move overseas/hang around for long. 1. Scott Sio AUS 2. Folau Fainga'a...

All good points Adam. Like I said earlier I think there needs to be points that the ref/neutral observer can award to either team.

The knives are out for Ronan O'Gara, probably will be sacked soon if he doesn't have a miraculous turn of form for La Rochelle.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dan criticise the NZ administration, so not to worry too much.

Forgot to add, in all the discussion of Leota's seagulling, he did some pretty impressive defence too. There was one piece midway through the 2nd half that Leota tracked and tackled T. Wright, who offloaded to Toole, Leota then scrambled off the deck and managed to get to Toole and make a tackle...

Promising returns from Valetini & Salakaia-Loto too. Both didn't look rusty at all, our forward pack needs some meat so happy to see them return smoothly.

As an aside, no Aussie team has beaten Chiefs, Crusaders or 'Canes yet. I just can't get around Hurricanes being bad, they've had some bad losses and some bad wins but they're so class. I think with Aumua back they'll rise again, they're yet to play any Aus teams. If we wanted a miracle and all...
